Becky Lynch is poised to face new challenges as her reign as the Women’s IC Champion continues. After successfully defending her title against Lyra Valkyria in a No DQ match at SummerSlam, where Bayley inadvertently played a part in the outcome, Becky celebrated her victory on the latest episode of Monday Night Raw at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York.
During her promo, Becky debuted a new theme song, but her moment was cut short by the return of Nikki Bella, WWE Hall of Famer. Bella challenged Lynch’s intentions in her comeback, sparking a heated exchange. Lynch took the opportunity to mock Bella’s previous film role in Happy Gilmore 2 and her past relationship with John Cena. Bella retaliated by calling Lynch a liar, igniting nostalgia with Yes! chants that echo her brother-in-law, Bryan Danielson.
As the tension escalated, Nikki Bella proposed a one-on-one match for the IC title, but Becky responded with a cheap shot before exiting the scene. The champion’s night didn’t end there; backstage, she encountered Natalya, Maxxine Dupri, and Akira Tozawa, leading Natalya to challenge her to a match. However, Lynch accepted a match against Dupri instead, setting the stage for more action in the upcoming Raw episode.
This ongoing storyline showcases the fierce competition and dramatic rivalries that are characteristic of WWE’s female superstars. With both veterans staking their claims, fans can anticipate an exciting showdown that could further evolve the landscape of women’s wrestling in WWE.
